Every year, the state churns out many college commits that left their mark on the high school and club scenes and are ready to wow fans in the college circuit. As we are over half way through the club season, soon will be finishing up the remaining qualifiers, and will be gearing up for the national championships in a couple short month, there some high level 2026 players in Minnesota that are on the cusp of committing. The following are some of the stellar athletes looking for the perfect fit and I can't wait to see where they land.   Remember to follow me on Instagram @Prepdigamy and Facebook @PrepDig Amy for up to date event coverage, stories, and more.    Hepola is a smooth operator when she is running the floor for her SMV team. No stranger to high level competition, Hepola already possesses the intangibles that typically require time to develop. She has experience, a high game IQ, and is a fearless leader. She also has excellent communication skills and knows how to connect with each of her attackers on the court. Combine all of those items with her quickness, great setting hands, and superb defense and you have high level setter ready to take the court after high school.     Hellickson is one of the one players that you can probably put anywhere on the court. For a couple of years now, I have seen her In the libero jersey sacrificing her body to come up with some incredible digs and saves. However, midway through the high school season last fall, this versatile lefty found herself leading her team to the state tournament as an outside attacker proving to her coaches, teammates, fans, and future college coach that she will do whatever is asked of her.     I am a HUGE Kiminski fan. I know college coaches that are following Kiminski, so I have a feeling she will be the off the market soon and rightfully so. Kiminski is probably one of the most aggressive, electric, and dynamic attackers available in the class of 2026. She is full of power, grit, and is honestly, fascinating to watch when she is on the move. Just when I think I have seen her best swing/kill, she finds a way to top it.     Panek is a quick and powerful middle playing for [program_tooltip program_id='429186' first='Kandi' last='Elite'] this club season. She has fluid movements and has a quick, fierce arm that can terminate on demand all over the court. Some of her best attacks are her slide as she has incredible speed and range. Just when I think there is no way she is going to get to a ball that is pushed far to the pin, Panek explodes and unleashes a lethal kill off of a perfectly timed slide approach. I think this gem has been flying under the radar for way too long and some college coach soon is going to scoop her up.     I saw Grande play at the Mizuno showcase in Wisconsin Dells and was instantly impressed with her solid, focused approach to the game. This 6 rotation player has clearly reigned in the nerves and plays with a calm to her that is hard to find. Grande has many strengths including a wicked arm swing, however, some of my favorites of hers are her serve receive, backrow attacks, and sheer grit. This girl does not give up and will battle to the end for every point. Players like her are hard to find!     Banks is a crafty 2026 setter and right side that can not only set, but can terminate consistently. She has a great, quick swing from the pin and can also throw down some carefully placed setter dumps all over the court. Banks also has a strong serve and can effectively serve receive, block, and play defense. College coaches that are looking for a versatile setter with great court vision should check out Banks as she is a shinny gem that is going to do great things in college.     Tarnowski is a fabulous right side attacker who can slam down huge kills both cross court and down the line. However, her athleticism and versatility also allows her to terminate the the quick out of the middle and destroy the gap ball. She also has some of the best out of system swings that I have seen on the courts this season. Regardless from where she is attacking, you can better believe that the ball with find the floor with a ton of movement and power behind it.   What makes Tarnowski special in addition to her powerful, lethal arm is her pass and defense game. Her quick feet and crazy read on the ball gives her the ability to be effective on serve receive and also be one of the most stellar defenders on the court. If I was looking for a powerful, versatile 6 rotation opposite, I would be looking her way.     Hidden away in the small town of Hallock, MN (population 873) is [player_tooltip player_id='227878' first='Kaydence' last='White']. However, this middle is ready for the big time play of college ball. Standing at 6'0”, White is a middle with solid footwork, a quick reaction, and a fast, heavy arm making her a dynamic middle on both offense and defense. While I like the range in White's attacks, I am really impressed with her ability to read, react, run the net, and close the block. Overall, a fantastic player that would be a good addition for a team that wants a middle that can do it all.
